I like Kofi's charisma and his in ring abilities so I couldn't vote Nay. His character does need more depth and at least get him on the mic more so I couldn't vote YAY. At the moment I don't want to have sex with him so I couldn't vote Gay. Boom Boom!

I can imagine Kofi having a star-making feud with CM Punk. The two have the history of being the World Tag Team Champions together, and I can just imagine Kofi telling Punk "you've changed, mon," and Punk asking Kofi if he even remembers him because of all the "funny cigarettes" going around his country.
On the flip-side, I can see Kofi effectively turning heel by becoming the on-screen "best friend" to Punk. The Goldust to his Booker T, only definitively heel; or the Colt Cabana to his...well, CM Punk. I still maintain that Kofi does really well for being on RAW, though. When he eventually changes brands, I can imagine him having quite a bit of success. If he got drafted to ECW next year, I could easily see him having a run with the 17lbs of platinum. If the WWE recognised the ECW Title as at least a step up from the US Title, it is at least progress for Kingston. He's been getting put over pretty solidly as the US Champion, though. Granted, Shelton Benjamin got the same with both the US and IC Title, but with the IC Title being booked well, I think it's stepped up the pressure to book the US Title like it means something, too. I think a change would do him good, but I like the way they haven't pulled the rug from the reign. The Miz seems like the obvious choice for next US Champ, given that he has been chasing the title, but I think The Miz is still finding himself during his "re-building" phase. Miz's time will come. I can actually see Kofi dropping the title to a member of Legacy in the coming weeks, also. Cody Rhodes has been doing really well lately, and with Ted having The Marine 2, Cody probably needs a bit more of a resume going for him. I would not be opposed to seeing Rhodes as US Champion soon. |

I agree except for the Miz part. He needs to go a long long way before he wins the United-States title. Won't mind Swagger or Dibiase winning it.

That's just an opinion. Any other mid card title but not the United-States title.

I'm actually not too sure on The Miz, either. I like him and all, but it just doesn't feel right. After Kofi's defeated him so many times, it'd feel like a consolation win, and it wouldn't do much for the US Title or for The Miz. It could no doubt turn out entertaining, don't get me wrong -- I can see The Miz going around to cities acting like he has the Key to the City because he is the Champion of the United States -- but it just doesn't feel right to me, at the moment.
It seems the WWE are going to segue this feud with The Miz into a three-way program with Jack Swagger. That I would not mind seeing. Now that The Miz has stolen the US Title belt, I would not be opposed to him throwing it in a river, or something (yeah, I know it's been done and re-done), and them getting a new design for the belt, to make it look a little less like a mid-card belt, and a little more like an upper mid-card belt. At Hell in a Cell, I expect a Triple Threat between Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger and The Miz, with Kofi Kingston hopefully retaining yet again, by pinning The Miz. That can lead to Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger one-on-one at Bragging Rights. Have Kofi retain the title via roll-up there, and then have Kofi Kingston on opposing teams to Jack Swagger and The Miz at Survivor Series. After that, we get TLC, where I can see another Kofi/Swagger match, or even (if they are going with overkill with the concept), a Ladder Match for the title. There, someone else can win it. That'd clock Kofi in at over the six month mark on his title reign. After that they can think about moving him up the card, and have him do some cool shit in Money in the Bank. Then he could possibly feud with CM Punk after WrestleMania, when he is either drafted to SmackDown!, or Punk is drafted to RAW. |
